The Henry Ford is considered one of America's greatest historical attractions. In 2002 the 90-acre outdoor village began a major renovation and infrastructure upgrade.
IC developed a group of custom historic streetlights that combine dual light sources, digital communication and a hidden surround-sound audio system into a park-wide, controlled network.
The poles, cast from recycled Ford engine blocks, thematically enhance the visitor experience with their historic appearance and advanced technology.
